All "roads" lead to "Rome": Where is our ROME!

Where do we go now…

There are so many chains, layers, protocols, and humans to follow in this year of our LORD 2025.

With out even looking to the future… where AI chains that trade in the background for you… giving you a consistent passive income… we can assume NO ONE human can buy into EVERY chain.

Only our overlords of mind will be able to contemplate these theories.

Let us begin with examples that most in crypto can understand. Ethereum and Bitcoin…

Which is REALLY the “new gold” in terms of having finite market cap and the potential for utility.

Gold is a physical material that is valued by humans, at first, by its beauty and durability. Then came the time of electronics… providing utility to this substance.

In this same age as the discovery of the utility of gold came the discoveries of deeper and more rich veins of this substance.

Bitcoin started as a revolutionaries idea that became reality after hard work and determination.. like mining for he first chunk of gold when no one believed in a “sparkly yellowish rock that could break other rocks i was so hard”. Or even “a gold wire can conduct electricity better than those who spent 100 tries to create a light bulb and shit.

Now bitcoin can store more than just your transaction data with a weird tech that some have called “a bug in the system of bitcoin”. Essentially some think this currency should stay nothing more than what it was meant to be… the upgraded national/gold backed currency.

Bitcoin is NOT gold… it is a bank note of your transactions and all activity on chain. The thing with something being gold is the scarcity and possibility of destruction.

YES! You can burn BTC to a “dead” wallet… if an atomic computer finds the keys by trying every pairing for every wallet… it will take all the burnt shit and sell it.

This is in theory of course… so is everything about crypto… a theory that will be proven with time to either be the next thing… or something that still needs an upgrade.

This brings us to Ethereum… and how it is just a slightly tweaked and upgraded version of Bitcoin.

The utility part is what the Ethereum team wanted to find, fix, and create with this chain… imo… nfa… AMA.

This leans more into the category of being a scarce and useful digital “material” for building. Bitcoin has the potential, NOW, to be build upon… yet that was never their point… BTC was never supposed to look that Ethereum… otherwise it would have been done.

Ethereum uses no “new” tech for their block chain unless you consider the fact that mining machines are the new tech… yet they are essentially the same for any chain other than data chains like FILECOIN or IPFS or whatever they are. Just big AWS chain honestly…

Ethereum solved a different problem… how to we create an internet our of this blockchain shit? This is where chains start to differ the most… what they are solving.

Let me bring up two other chains to make my point even more… Solana and XRP.

Solana solves the problem of the possibility of destruction of a good/material. You can burn and destroy any number of a token on their block chain… reclaiming some of the gas used to store that data on chain… genius and needed to become the next gold.

Does this make them it??? Fuck no. They have too many issues and are not THAT much different than other chains.

How about XRP? They looked at the system of trade rather than asset type and found TRUST. To trade on XRP you need to set up/pay for a trust line to that token or wallet. Like with gold you need to trust a person that it IS in fact gold and not just a good paint job or a similar looking material. Again… genius of them to think and solve this problem with code and create a transaction tracking blockchain.

That is what they all are… chains of hashed information to point to different transactions which, in turn, build the blockchain ledger.

This leads me to my question in the title: where is our “Rome” in the web of what is know as cryptocurrency?

Where will all chains and bridges lead to in the end…

My guess??? Sure i will tell you what i think… just take it and DYOR before full porting to that chain.

The answer i will give is the fasted EVM layer that gains TONS of liquidity while it stays off exchanges… and when it does get on the main exchanges.. has zero problems with humans exiting.. I mean IRL humans… impossible to track on chain… bots can sometime look just like some day trading degen if done right/wrong… kek

The humanity of the chain will be the determining factor…

Will this chain have trustlines? burning capability? finite supply? yes… no… idk and it is not the time to KNOW yet… for now it is time to learn how to build and open up your creative side.

The best devs are artistic in how they create and problem solve… this is fact.

The ones looking at how to make the most profits… well… ngmi
